Vector Classic costs $0.99 and Neon Beats $2.99 up front. Vector Classic sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Neon Beats asks for nothing beyond the download.
Vector Classic holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vector Classic has 2.8K ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Vector Classic's written reviews are positive against 85% of Neon Beats's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
